Below are the online content options for NDSU departments, business units, operational teams and service lines; Ag Extension and affiliates.

Content Management System

The NDSU Content Management System (CMS) provides an easy way for departments to manage and publish Web content. Benefits of the CMS include:

A clean, professional design

Templates designed to be accessible to persons with disabilities

No software to purchase or install

Ability for a collection of people from your organization to have access to create and update content in cooperation with the option to elect one+ individual(s) to approve content before it is published

Public Web service

Public Web, or PubWeb, provides hosting services for university departments (business units, operational teams and service lines), Ag Extension and affiliates, individual faculty and staff members, and students organizations with sponsorship of a faculty member.

Accounts are not provided for individual students; however, instructors and work supervisors may request accounts for students to satisfy their NDSU academic or NDSU employment work.

Points to consider in choosing to use PubWeb:

All NDSU-hosted Web content is required to be accessible to people with disabilities

Use of PubWeb generally requires specific software (e.g., DreamWeaver) or knowledge of HTML

Content created by individual users is "uploaded" to the server using a software program (e.g., an sFTP program or DreamWeaver)
